Mark, Ray,Joshua,Jonathan and Jena, my husband Yankee and I are very sorry for your loss. I met Michele the first day at LF in the auditorium, I asked her if she wanted to sit with me and be friends.I can visualize this line it was yesterday!! She went on to sit in front of all 4 yrs and we had the best times-at lunches and Senior week.we went on to have Michele meet our extended families and friends and they all fell in love with that radiant smile!!! I pray that she RIP and I am happy she is not suffering anymore. We loved her and it was a privilege to have been friends with her for more than 50 years. We will continue to pray for all of you-, we love you Michele-always, Susan and Yankee!!!!

Joll family, I am so sorry for your loss. Michele was my childhood friend. She was such a sweetheart. We went through high school together and I spent many weekends at her family house.
She made the best French toast for breakfast and I just loved her and her lovely family. We stayed in touch though Facebook and I was saddened to hear that she is no longer with us. I have so many good memories of Michele and her pretty face and radiant smile. She will be deeply missed. My prayers are with all of you. Rest in peace my dear friend. I love you Michele. Love Diane. ❤️

Dear Ray, Joshua, Jonathan, Jena please accept my condolences on Michele
She was my dearest friend just like sister’s.
I am so sorry for your loss
and to think she passed on my birthday November 13
My heart goes out to all of you. I am so happy I had seen her earlier that year at Jena’s house and she made a wonderful dinner as she was a great cook, she was great at everything. Ever since I met her in Little Flower in September 1968 and we were in homeroom for 4 years I’ll always cherish the wonderful memories of her, and what an honor to meet all of you as well.
You’re in my thoughts and prayers always
Sincerely Eileen Guglielmucci Camarena

Joll family,
My name is Laryssa Lorefice and my husband is Jim Lorefice.
My husband and I would like to express our condolences to your family on your precious loss. We met on one of our vacations in Clearwater. She was so friendly we all shared many laughs together. I could tell she loved the water because thats where we spent most of our time at the hotel.
We were shocked when we found out and would like to send many prayers to you and your family.
